is not susceptible or" convenient washing or cleansing, in time it becomes soiled to an undesirable degree and in public places, rather unsanitary.

Even though the pillow case is removed and washed repeatedly, the tick gradually becomes soiled and objectionable.

To avoid this to a certain degree, it is now a known practice to provide a sewed on tick cover, generally of a cheap textile nature. However, this cover too, becomes soiled and to wash it means a job in that it must be ripped off and then sewed back on later. i To avoid this, I have evolved and produced a duplex pillow slip structure which embodies inner and outer cases permanently stitched together to provide a complete unit which may be readily placed in position. or removed and Washed and ironed with facility, the inner case being somewhat smaller than the outer one and such as to cover the otherwise exposed ends of the pillow tick, whereby to maintain a clean and sanitary appealing covering for the pillow. In the drawings: Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a pillow within a duplex slip of the type constituting the subject matter of this invention, a port-ion being broken away to disclose the inner case.

Figure 2 is a View similar to Figure 1 showing the outer case rolled or peeled back to dis close the end construction of the inner case.

Figure .3 is a perspective view with a portion of the outer case broken away and with the flap on the inner case'eXtende-d to permit it to be tucked in.

Serial No. 404,828.

Figure l is a longitudinal section through the complete structure.

In the drawings and in Figure 3, for example, the reterenc-e character 5 designates an ordinary pillow. As seen in Figure t this comprises an appropriate filling Sand a tick envelope or covering 7. The duplex slip comprises an outer open-ended. case 8 and the companion inner case 9. The closed ends of these inner and outer cases are turned in and simultaneously stitched together as at 10 in Figure 4 to permanently fasten the two cases together and to provide a single duplex unit.

The inner case is somewhat smaller than the outer one and is intended to snugly concoal the pillow. The open end has an ornamental stitch as at 11 in Figure 3 and an extension 12 which functions as a flap. The flap has the corner portions turned in as at 13 and stitched down to the body portion as at let for the sake of rigidity and ornamentation. This flap is tucked into the open end seen in Figure at.

On the top of the flap I provide buttons 15 which cooperate with the buttonl'ioles 16 in securing the pillow within this inner case. These buttons and buttonholes however, are not absolutely essential. in fact, snap fasteners (not shown) n'iight be substituted or no fasteners employml whatsoever.

When the flap tucked in, the adjacent open end of the outer case 8 projects beyond as shown for example in Figure l, and this projecting cud may be worked or patterned in any suitable manner for sake of ornamentation.

lVith this arrangement it will be seen that if the outer case works back while it is in use to expose the inner case, the inner case will prevent soiling of the tick on the pillow, but at the same time the entire slip may be readily removed from the pillow for laundermg.

From the foregoing description and drawings, it will be seen that I hare evolved and produced a simple and economical double pillow slip embodying inner and outer permanently stitched casings of appropriate configuration and design, such as will promote cleanliness and sanitation, and provide a loo highly useful article for'the purposes speci- Minor changes in shape, size, materials and rearrangement of features may be resorted to in actual practice so long as they do not depart from the scope of the following claims.

I claim: r

1. In a duplex slip of the class described, an inner pillow-containing casing of textile material open at one end to facilitate insertion and removal of a pillow; said inner cas ing being provided at said open end with an extended flap adapted to be tucked in for covering the adjacent end ofthe pillow, to-

gether with an outer casing for said inner casing permanently stitched to one end oi the inner casing and having its opposite end open and projecting beyond the corresponding open end of said lnner casing.

V 2. In a duplex slip of the class described,

1 an inner pillow containing casing of textile material open at one end to facilitate insertion and removal of a pillow, said inner casing being provided at said open end with an extended flap adapted to be tucked in for covering the adjacent end of the pillow, together with an outer casing for said inner casing permanently stitched to one end oi the inner casing and having its oppositeend open and pro ecting beyond the corresponding open end of said inner casing, said flap being substantially triangular in general configuration, with its apex portion truncated, and separable fasteners'serving to detachably connect said flap with the body portion of the inner casin In testimony whereof I alfix my signature.

GERTR'UDE BERTHA.
